Technology has changed greatly,even in recent years.We can contact and communicate faster our family and friends abroad,we can get answer to our queries in just a second through the use of computer.Technology makes our life much easier and faster to do things.Now,with that being said,it has also increased our quality of life.Technology has taught us how to work smarter,not harder.Whether you look at how we listen to music with mp3's now,instead of record.Or how we get around town in automobiles now,instead of horse drawn carriages.The majority of the influence that man has had on the world has come from our technology.Since anything invented counts as technology,everything humans have made,from fire to our most basic stone tools to the modern mass productions of all our goods,has had a massive effect on the world.Technology has changed society in too many ways to mention.Some of the simplest examples would be the fact that we go to the bathroom utilizing indoor plumbing and sewer systems,we live in buildings that have lights any time of day and conditioned air that make the temperature comfortable no matter what the weather outside is.There are so many ways that technology has changed society that it is hard to even count them all.Simple things like teflon and non stick surfaces which were created for the space program make everyday life easier for millions of Americans.Computers allow us to analyze significant amounts of data,eliminate the need for paper files and communicate quickly with people around the world in seconds.GPS allows us to know where we are on a trail in the woods,while driving our car we can get directions or if someone is missing/abducted locate their car.These are just a few ways that technology has influenced society and made our lives easier.
